Blind Spots: The Impact of Conscious and Unconscious Biases

Event Time:

Sunday May 5, 2019 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

ELA Type:

HeadTalks

Topic(s):

General Neurology

Director(s):

Laraine Kaminsky , Jeffrey McClean MD, FAAN, Charles Flippen MD, FAAN

Description:

In a neurological exam, you don't expect your patient to find their own blind spot, so why do we assume we can diagnosis our own? During this highly interactive presentation about the conscious and unconscious bias we all have, the panel will discuss the impact of those biases and also make some recommendations on how to mitigate our biases. NOTE: To get the most out of this program we highly encourage you to take the Project Implicit Test at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html prior to the program.
